Country Relaxation

Went to Pole House after a bust 6weeks. Needed to get away from the city. This place does not disappoint. The spa overlooking hills is sensational. Sitting in the spa at night with crystal clear skies looking at the stars was amazing. The bed was super comfy. The place was perfect and quiet. Can’t wait to come back again. Next time we will bring our own food as east Maitland is 25 minute drive away. We went to the pub there for dinner which was pretty good. But would rather have stayed in. Thank you.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Polehouse Cottage providing us with the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy some fresh country air. The house and spa were perfectly clean with comfy warm beds and an indoor fire that was sufficient heating. We’d definitely stay here again.

Beautiful

Gorgeous cottage, generous size, beautiful views. Would definitely stay again. The only issue was when we stayed (July 2023) the spa had no steps to get in/out so anyone who was vertically challenged or has mobility issues could struggle. But definitely loved the place.

Weekend Getaway

A beautiful, peaceful property to stay. Wanted to get away for a weekend and this is was the perfect place to relax. Leave the curtains open at night and have a beautiful view of the stars. Location was close enough to get essentials if you forgot anything and far enough from the other property with good privacy. The hot spa was the cherry on top of the stay. Thank you Nicholas for a fantastic stay! Will definitely be coming back ☺️

Relaxation on the mountain

My wife and i stayed for 3 nights and had a well overdue very relaxing stay. The spa on the deck is a winner, just time it right as in summer it can get quite hot. A bit of shade over it could make it even better. Had a visit from some cows, wallabies and a goanna. Loved it. We would do it again.

Lovely rural getaway …

We had a lovely time. The property is rustic and rural - just exactly what we wanted very comfortable, king-size bed, hot, shower, fireplace, country, views, comfy, couch what more could you want? We even got a visit from the curious neighbouring cows, who let us say hello. Well appointed. Would love to come back as it’s great for Hunter Valley exploration.

Great getaway

Very relaxing break - away from the hustle but just a short drive to wineries/coast. House was exactly as shown in ad - well equipped. A spa was perfect way to end each day. Loved the peace and quiet. Definitely on list to return. Nic was easy to deal with.

Fresh County Air, Fantastic View

Just what was needed to get away from the city for some fresh air and relaxation. Well laid out floor plan with the kids room on one side and our room on the other… Fire place kept the place nice and warm with a comfortable lounge to stretch out on. The jacuzzi unfortunately didn’t get a go but would have been very nice. Was warm to touch so maybe next time. Could have done with an extra towel each for the second night and perhaps some slight maintenance here and there but hey, now we’re splitting hairs… Overall a pleasant setting, beautiful location for some nature walks, we didn’t have the weather on our side. Nick is very friendly, as you’d expect from the country. Thank you for the country taste and love the cow’s mate. :)
